Sam Ash has released a new guide on synthesizers, geared towards musicians interested in trying electronic music synthesis alongside those who are purchasing their first instrument.
-- In its recently announced guide, Sam Ash introduces the basics of synthesizers, exploring key features and how they function in music production. Their team of gear experts says beginners who have no knowledge of synthesizers can read the guide to familiarize themselves with how the instruments work and what to look for when shopping for their first one.

Synthesizers have been a cornerstone in music production since their introduction in the 1960s, notes Sam Ash. In the modern era, they are commonly used in genres such as funk and pop, techno, and ambient, but their versatility allows musicians to produce music for other genres as well. There are many different types of synthesizers, each with distinct sound profiles and functions - for example, analog synths are known for their warm, organic tones, while modular synths consist of separate, customizable sound modules that can be patched together - but most have the same basic components.
According to Sam Ash’s guide, synthesizers work by manipulating electronic signals to create sounds that either emulate real instruments or create entirely unique soundscapes. To do this, every synthesizer requires an oscillator, which can generate basic waveforms: sine waves, which are suitable for subtle and mellow tones; triangle waves, which are often used for woodwind-like sounds or gentle bass lines; square waves, which are ideal for chiptunes and other retro music; and sawtooth waves, versatile waveforms that can be used for a variety of genres.
Accompanying the oscillator is the filter section, which Sam Ash notes will likely be one of the player’s most used features. As the resource explains, filters adjust the brightness and texture of sound by amplifying or diminishing specific frequencies; low-pass filters cut off high frequencies, high-pass filters cut out low frequencies, and band-pass filters remove frequencies around a setting specified by the cutoff knob.
Envelope generators, which determine the attack, decay, sustain, and release of notes, are also used extensively to alter note behavior, allowing musicians the freedom to manipulate the synth’s overall sound profile.
Finally, synths come with built-in effects like reverb, delay, chorus, and distortion. Sam Ash’s team adds that most instruments are also compatible with equipment like stomp boxes and rack effects that can add more character to the sound.
